A few days ago from ASUS UK they already indicated that the stock of the Radeon RX 6800 would be quite limited. ASUS has indicated that the stock of these graphics cards could be depleted in minutes. Australian YouTuber Hardware Unboxed has learned that Australian stores will have very limited stock. This will cause that acquiring one of these graphics cards will be quite difficult to acquire.
Some stock problems that are caused by the saturation of TSMC's production lines at 7nm. The foundry has to supply Ryzen 3000 processors, Ryzen 4000 APUs, Ryzen 5000, RX 6000 and the SoCs for Microsoft and Sony consoles. This would have caused AMD to decide to withdraw the RX 5000 from production.

The global stock situation of these RX 6800 graphics is bad and will hardly improve in the coming days. TSMC is aware of the problem, which is why they have bought 13 new machines investing more than 2.000 million dollars. But these machines will not solve the problem in the short term, it would be for the medium and long term.
The availability of these cards will be a hot topic when they go live. So technically they will be released on the 18th (that's when you'll see our review) […] but I really hope you can't buy one. I've talked to quite a few retailers and the stock looks pretty terrible, just as terrible compared to the GeForce RTX 3080. It differs from region to region (I've only spoken to Australian retailers).
The custom graphics cards that most of you will be interested in won't be out for another week. So on the 25th they will be available. Probably again in the form of a limited number. It will take a few weeks after launch for them to become available.
